The Underground Sea

Berger's commitment to the mining communities was more than emotional, it was visceral * * New Statesman * *
A timely collection with still-striking thoughts * * Irish Times * *
A profound tribute to working-class struggles . . . The words are invariably sage, the language noble yet pointedly accessible, descriptions of intense poverty and extraordinarily dangerous work are powerful * * Buzz Magazine * *
The book's introduction is rather beautiful. Harle, along with Tom Overton (who has catalogued the British Library's Berger archive), deftly weave Berger's admiration for artist Josef Herman with his book on a country doctor immersed in the Forest of Dean community * * Morning Star * *
